In line with the IAF’s motto ‘Connecting @ll Space People’ and with the aim of fostering coordination and collaboration between space agencies around the world, the Federation is launching a new initiative: the IAF Space Leaders Summit. This Summit is designed to be a series of senior leader gatherings taking place in conjunction with the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC).
The Summit will be a formal high-level closed meeting, running over two- and one-half hours, starting with an official welcome by the Italian authorities and co-chaired by the President of the Italian Space Agency, Prof. Teodoro Valente, and the President of the International Astronautical Federation, Clay Mowry. All global Heads of Space Agencies/Offices will be invited to participate in the Summit.
This year’s Summit will focus on the topic of “Space Capabilities for Sustainability on Earth”.
Invited Heads of Agencies will be given the opportunity to give a three to five minutes statement outlining their agency’s contribution to the global system of space capabilities for sustainability on Earth.
Selected International Space Organizations will be also invited to attend the Summit as observers.
